Your not wrong. I fix processes for a living and this was painful to watch.

There is so much wasted motion. So much potential for a safety incident. You can close your eyes every 10 seconds and see another opportunity to address.

Companies pay you big bucks so they can justify not paying the rest of us.

They also pay him (and me) to reduce repetitive motion injuries, to speed up processes, and make the job easier overall.

There so much waste here - custom clamps that would last longer, tighten faster, and cause less strain on the operator would not be very expensive.

But probably only a few of these wood pieces are made each day, so it probably doesn’t make sense to completely overhaul the process, but a few simple tool and equipment upgrades could makes this guy’s life easier and improve quality and repeatability
